        But how is it that two individuals in the same crowded MRT or with the same pain, i.e. that are subjected to the same stressors, experience it in completely different ways? One feels stressed and the other does not. The degree of stress reaction depends on how we appraise the situation. The difference lies in whether we view it as a challenging or threatening, and whether we consider ourselves able to deal with the event/situation or not (&quot;It&#39;s not the cards you&#39;re dealt, it&#39;s how you play them&quot;, as a client once said). We tend to experience stronger stress reactions the more negative implications we attribute to the event and the less we believe in our own abilities to cope.
